A Learning Experience

I started doing Digital Collage
when I Began Blogging in 2007. 

Gosh, Can it be that Long?!

I used a Free Online Photo Editing 

because I was Bound and Determined

 to make my own Blog Header.

I was so proud of that first Blog Header!

(Not it  is being kept in the 

"Isn't that Lovely......
 & Wowee, I have Learned a Lot Since Then! "
Archive File on my Computer.)

 Oh My Gosh I spent Hours 

Teaching myself through Trial and Error. 

I had to save every layer separately because

 if I had made a Mistake, I could undo it.

My Files were Enormous in the Beginning

 and my Poor Computer was getting 

Slower and Slower.

 At some point I had Purchased Photoshop
and had Installed it on my Computer.

 I Found Myself Opening the Program...

then Closing it...

It was New and a Little Intimidating...

But with some encouragement 

from my friend Gale,

 I persevered.

I Learn Best Visually so I formatted the Tutorial this way. I have Included

Multiple Screen Shots with Highlighted  Step by Step Directions.

I wanted to Share with you what I have Learned thus Far.

I am so Happy to be able to Offer this Tutorial to you in my Etsy Shop.

Hope you are Having a Wonderful Week!
